Socratic Circles

Today we will do two Socratic circles.

  1. The first round will be focused on the societal issues explored in the novel. Use your "Grab Bag" of Topics notes for this round!
  2. The second round will be focused on text analysis. What did the author do to make his point? What has been effective? What hasn't been? Use the "Style" and "Literary Discussion" prep notes for this round. Make sure and STICK TO THE TEXT!


Homework

Begin reading Book II. We aren't going to do the questions for these chapters, only reading quizzes and checks. Read chapters 18-21 by Tuesday!
